Google News could disappear for Europeans if Google and the EU do not reach an agreement after the entry into force of upcoming copyright law.
The European Parliament trying to pass a bill for her protection of intellectual property within the European Unions. The upcoming Copyright Bill has some advantages for copyright holders, which, in theory at least, is a good thing.
The publishers news they will be able to make money from Alphabet, Facebook and any other company that aggregates and displays news. Google News, for example, which displays a short excerpt for each news article, would have to compensate publishers under the new bill.
So companies will be able to get money from Google, but apparently Google is not willing to pay because it claims that it doesn't make money (!) from this service. However, even if it doesn't earn as much as Google claims, it brings people to the machine search.
When the European Union imposed the GDPR Directive on the processing of personal data in the EU via the Internet, several companies decided to leave the market instead of complying.
For the time being, the European Union has not decided on how to proceed, and we will rather be slow to see a decision. This means that the status quo will continue to apply. Sure is that Google is also not willing to take part in another battle with the EU that may brings heavy fines.
According to one Publication of Bloomberg, Romania, currently head of the European Council, will not make a decision. Such a broad decision will have an impact on all EU countries, so there will be disagreements.
For now, it is impossible to say how this clash will end, but the threat of Google leaving the EU market seems to be part of a negotiating strategy.
